A/N: Yay new story! I hope you guys like it! I have been in love with PERCABETH recently so yea! Enjoy
It's just another boring day in my boring life I thought as I glanced at the clock. Okay, only another 15 more minutes until its closing time. I mean I love working here, it's just sometimes you get stuck in the same routine day after day after day. It gets boring.
I work at the outlet malls, at the billabong store. I love it because I get to meet a lot of cool people, not those snobby people that come to the outlets. Because let's be real, the only people that come to this store and teenagers, hip 20 year olds, surfers and such. No snobby person would come to this store, I guess to them it would be degrading, but boy do they miss out. Billabong has so much cute clothes to offer, I love the surfer style they have going on. And plus I get to wear their merchandise for free. How awesome is that!?
Like today for example, I have their new island crush dress in white. It is a white dress that stops about mid-way down my thigh, it is loose and comfortable. It is held up by two skinny straps and has a V cut in the front. There are also little designs that run throughout the dress. I like it, it's nice and casually, it hugs my body in all the right areas and well it makes me feel pretty without feeling skanky. I have on a pair of black chucks and I have various black bracelets with my favorite owl necklace that hangs low against my chest and a pair of black hoop earrings.
I'm your average looking girl. I have long blonde curly hair that stops right at my waist and I have stormy grey eyes with a killer tan. I've been told that I am the perfect stereotypical Californian girl, but my grey eyes off set that. I also have multiple piercings, during my teenage years I kind of went overboard, so now I have a nose piercing, a belly button piercing, and multiple ear piercings along with my owl tattoo that is placed on my left wrist. I know, crazy right? But oh well, that was young Annabeth Chase for you.
I looked back at the clock, great only ten more minutes. I have a couple of things I have to do before I close the store like restock, I guess I better do that now.
I walked in the back and grabbed the pile of shirts that I was supposed to put on the top shelf. I brought the shirts up and tried to reach the top shelf, but it was no use. I was way too short. I was only about 5'6".
"Okay, I can problem solve" I whispered to myself. I went and grabbed a step stool and brought it back. I got on and tried to reach the shelf again. And again I still couldn't reach.
"Oh for Hera's sake!" I yelled in defeat.
I felt the shirts leave my hands as someone reached the top shelf for me putting everything away.
I turned around to say thank you when I slipped and fell into a pair of strong arms.
I looked up and was awe struck. In front of me was a handsome boy with black tousled hair and piercing sea green eyes. He wore a lop sided grin as he looked down to me.
I blushed a little and smiled.
I quickly regained my composure and shot out of his arms. His strong well-toned arms. He must work out.
"Stop it!" I cursed under my breath.
"Um, thank you" I said looking back at the boy in front of me.
"No problem shorty" he said with that lop sided smile.
"Shorty, really? You're like a god dam giant and such a seaweed brain. " I said as I walked back to the register.
"Ouch" he said as he held his heart.
"You know wise girl that really hurt me deep in my heart" he joked as he walked towards me holding his right hand over his chest.
"Oh really, then I'm sorry about that seaweed brain" I giggled.
He just laughed. "Do you always treat your customers like this?"
"No, only the special ones" I said with a smile.
He just shot me a perfect smile back.
Oh god, is this guy flirting with me? Well might as well play along.
I leaned on the counter and began to twirl my hair with my fingers as I bit down on my bottom lip.
Eww, this is so weird, I can't believe I'm just twirling my hair and biting my lips. God Thalia would so be proud. I thought as I giggled a little.
He seemed to buy it because he just came closer to me leaning over the counter, he was only a few centimeters away from me.
"The names Percy" he said as I felt his breath on my lips.
It gave me shivers. Gods I can't do this anymore.
I shot back and extended my arm with an awkward flare to it.
"My name's Annabeth" I said with an awkward smile.
He just laughed and shook my hand.
"Annabeth, that's a beautiful name. It fits with a beautiful girl such as yourself" he said as he pulled my hand to his lips and laid a kiss upon it.
My insides totally just melted. I felt my face heat up and guessed there was a vibrant red streak running across my face.
"Uh thanks" I said as my blush spread to my entire face.
"You know, you're pretty cute when you blush" he said as he reached out his hand to caress my face.
All I did was close my eyes and he caressed my face.
Oh god, this guy is so hot! And he's flirting with me! Maybe Thalia is right. I should stop being so lame and actually follow through with my feelings. I mean this guy's pretty cute and he seems really nice. I shouldn't let this opportunity pass.
I opened my eyes to see Percy smiling at me with his sea green eyes.
"What?" I asked as I pulled his hand off of my face and laid it down on the counter.
"Nothing, you're just so beautiful"
"Stop it!"
"Stop what?"
"Calling me that."
"But you are"
"You're just trying to make me blush"
"Is that a crime?" he asked with a smirk.
"No, it's just embarrassing" I said as I covered my face with my hands.
He reached over and took my hands away from my face and held them in his hands.
"It would be offensive to the world if you tried to hide that beautiful face" he whispered as he leaned in.
What is he doing? Is he gonna kiss me? Oh god. Am I ready for this? Oh man. Zeus help my.
I closed my eyes and waited. Within seconds I felt a warm pair of lips crash upon mine.
His lips fit perfectly with mine. I swear I felt electricity run throughout my body. We kissed as if it was the end of the world. As if we were lovers who haven't seen each other in ages. I feel as if I've known this boy forever, like I didn't just meet him.
I pulled back and looked at him.
"Whoa" is all he managed to say.
"Whoa's right" I said with a smile.
"I got to say, that was pretty amazing" he said with a smile.
I chuckled. "You got that right seaweed brain" I said as I glanced at the clock. It was 9, time to close the store.
I gathered all my belongings and told Percy I had to close the store. He said okay and waited outside of the store. I turned off all of the lights and turned to lock the doors.
Percy was still standing there waiting for me with his hands in his pockets. He had on a pair of tan jeans with a black button up shirt and a pair of black converse. I could make out some black lines on his left bicep; he probably had a tattoo or something.
" So, what brings you to the outlet malls on a Friday night?" I asked as I began to walk to the parking lot.
"Well, you might think this is lame… But I was actually looking for a date" he said sheepishly.
"Well aren't you just full of surprises" I giggled.
"Yea I know" he said as he looked at me with a small grin on his face.
"Well, did you find one?" I asked with a slight tone of jealousy.
Was he using me? Did he already find a girl? Man I really hope he didn't. I wish that the only girl he kissed today was me.
"Well yes actually" he said with a smile.
"Oh" I said as I turned my face away from him. It probably wasn't me.
"And she's beautiful" he added.
"Great" I said as I felt my face heat up. I was probably gonna explode soon.
"And she looks a lot like you" he said.
I immediately stopped.
"What?" I said as I looked into his eyes.
"Well would you like to accompany me on a dinner date Annabeth?" he asked as he bent down on one knee.
People around us began to look at us. They probably thought he was proposing or something.
"Percy, stop! People are looking!" I said as I tried to pull him up.
"No until you give me and answer" he said with his arms stretched out.
"Fine… fine… I'll go. Now get up or people with think you're proposing or something" I said as he finally got up.
"That day will come" he said with a smirk.
"Shut up. We barely even know each other" I said as I felt a deep blush coming on.
"Well then, let's change that" he said as he pulled me into a black truck and drove off.
